just finished watching and after reading some of the posts I have a whole different opinion of Dan Tae. People called him a scumbag for leaving, I didn't get that at all. He left abruptly because of his father, the man who had loved and raised him from the time he'd been kidnapped. He explained to Kong Shim why he was going and why he wasn't taking her with him, he wanted to see her blossom and she was doing that with the new company. He did leave earlier than expected but that was so he father could have the surgery that would save his life. There was nothing scummy about it. When he returned he explained why he hadn't contacted her, a dumb move assuredly, but in his mind it got him through the days without her and he studied harder so he could get back sooner. And he had left the ring, another dumb move the way he did it, but why would he even think she wouldn't go into the rooftop flat? I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the series and was so glad I didn't take the negative posts to heart and drop this.

I'm only on epi 14 but after reading your comment, I really need a spoiler. How and why is he an asshole?

read the comments and am pleasantly surprised at how they haven't effected how much I'm enjoying this drama. I'm on epi 14 and loving all of it.

I don't get the scumbag comment, but then I'm on epi 14. Does he change at the end? I thought he was entertaining and I get why he kept FL at arms length after he discovered who he was. Just like he explained to Gramma, he was keeping her out of the fray.

I read the comments, but I'm stubborn and decided to give it a shot. I'm so glad I did. I think it's just great.

only on epi 14 and I just don't know how they are going to redeem this snotty snotty witch, LOL.

I agree. at epi 14 now and I'm loving the two main characters. I love that Gong Shim told Dan Tae that she didn't care what he told her she was still going to "like" him and she's kept true to her word, I loved that he told the Grandmother that he loved her. I don't know why this wasn't enjoyable for others, but I love it.

only on epi 20 and I was thinking I needed to jump well ahead to see if anything happened to this pyscho. I'm a spoiler kinda gal, so Thanks for this.

Just finished reading the review from Daniella A and it's right on spot. I just want to point out that if you look at so many of the cdramas the bad guy gets let off the hook 99% of the time. Rarely does the person they've offended do more than give them a pat on the head and say, don't do it again. Normally they don't even cut them out of their lives. I do wholeheartedly agree that Elisa is pyscho and her mother just enables her, the brother is just as bad, I guess it runs in the family. Just have to say, after seeing epi 23 and 24...please stop letting "victor" sing, it's horrendous. EDIT: Finished it. Can someone PLEASE explain the whole dance thing at the end, that was so far out of left field it left me in total confusion.

this is the 2nd time watching, the first time was close to a year ago and I guess I've forgotten so much of it. I love Zhang Han, he's one of my favorites, but I have to say in this one, he's sort of a dirt bag. I get that he has some emotional pain from their break up, but he plays her along like a yoyo. He tells his friend that the problems between them have nothing to do with the actress, maybe not in their young years, but certainly in present time and he lets the actress get away with it while continue to string the FL along. The sister, I know there is something off about her, I've forgotten what it is, but she is the most irritating character, she would climb on her sisters back and follow her everywhere if she could, she treats her like a 2 year old, while keeping secrets that would help the FL. I want to yell at the FL, tell that actress if she's so sure of her love she wouldn't constantly be drawing the FL into this stuff.

hotter kissing scene than expected.

this is my 2nd time watching, fortunately this was one of the very first cdramas I watched, so this is basically new to me. I'm a huge fan of Zhang Han so watching anything with him, even if it's a 2nd or even 3rd time is not a hardship. I love that he isn't afraid (after the initial telling) to let her know that he loves her. Some people say that the FL should be with the 2ML because they have more in common....I have to disagree. He starts out going after her as revenge against the Ming Xuan, sorry, to me that is a red flag. The 2FL is a bunny boiler. Going to his mother to whine about how she needs to help get him away from Fai Fai is to much. Does the woman expect to have a happy marriage if he is forced to marry her. And the mother...your son is an adult, he doesn't need your help when it comes to love and he sure doesn't need your interference. In epi 21 he talks to her about another relationship she forced him into, how badly it turned out and she admitted it was bad, but still she doesn't shut up and learn from her mistake. If this is what really happens in the east, it never surprises me why so many of the films show the men having affairs.

oh geez, 246 epi!!! I've seen clips and want to watch, but 246 epi!! From the posts on here it sounds worth it, but 246 epi!! LOL.

This is the 2nd time I've watched it, the first time when I started watching Asian. I had forgotten just how annoying the FL is. Dumb, childish, annoying...I can't believe this is what the writers write for so many of the FL's if shows. Someone said she gets better as the series progresses, she's going to have to get a lot better. EDIT: I'm at epi 26 and as for the FL getting better, I'm wondering when that is supposed to happen. Also have a question, do females in the east not ever get concerned for their partners business troubles. This selfish, childish annoying character knows he's having business trouble but still it's all about her, her feelings, her cartoons, her her her. I just want to reach through and smack her one.

only on epi 11 right now and I have to say, I really get what you wrote.

after reading so many of the posts, I guess I'm not suppose to like it, but I do. Of course I'm only on epi 11 so who knows.

I am at epi 28 and even after reading so many of these posts, I'm glad it didn't deter me from watching. I agree, the FL is childish, but come on, I'm a relative newbie at these and I've already realized that the writers of these seem to have an aversion to woman acting their age, especially in these rom-com's. I've really enjoyed it. His mother just cracks me up especially during the hospital scene when she blamed it all on him. It's a pleasure to see the ML's mother who isn't a total shrew, his mother loves her and is a joy to watch. Bao Rui is hysterical, he's so totally clueless that he just makes me laugh. The sister's, other than both being lawyer's are as different as night and day. I love the cast.

I'm a huge Jerry Yan fan, so everyone complaining about the age gap means nothing to me. If you've watched, when the FL had the birthday party for him, the candles said he was 28 which would have only been a 4 to 6 year age gap, unless there was something else in the show that said he was older. this is my 2nd time watching and it's just as enjoyable the 2nd time. I do have to say the mother of Lu Yan Zhi looks like Mortecia Adams and talk about a drama queen and nasty to boot.

in this drama he turns 28, at least that's the candles they had on his birthday cake, so in this drama, he only about 6 years older than her.

going back to watch this a second time and I'm reminded why I liked it the first time. I like the chemistry between the leads. I just have one question. Why in the hell does the FL always always always have the best friend is more than a little annoying. These are short epi, I think just over a half hour and I'm ff thru all her parts. And the child, who I'm assuming we're supposed to fall in love with is a whiny brat and I guess we're supposed to think that's funny. Most of the children in these dramas are funny, cute and entertaining, this one I just want to put in her bedroom and walk away. (please before I get slammed for speaking about a child, this is the way the writers wrote her, nothing against the child herself). Honestly, now that I'm a few epi in, between the annoying best friend, the whiney bratty child and the parents who would be happy to push her off on any man, the only ones I want to watch are his crew of guys.
